What is endearing about Gumdrop are her body gestures ( we have gendered Robbie and Gumdrop by nature of voice form and name) the gaze and mannerisms that add an additional layer to the interaction and communication. There is social engagement with friends evident and we view an interaction between a human and Gumdrop that we did not see with Robbie. Robbie was abandoned but Gumdrop is being integrated into society, accepted not rejected.
